Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) includes diverse tumor types characterized by various genetic abnormalities. The genetic changes, like mutations, deletions, and epigenetic alterations, play a crucial role in the modification of signaling networks, tumor pathogenesis, and prognosis. The most prevalent RCC type, clear cell RCC (ccRCC), is asymptomatic in the early stages and has a poorer prognosis compared with the papillary and the chromophobe typesRCCs. Generally, ccRCC is refractory to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Loss of VHL gene and upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), the signature of most sporadic ccRCC, promote multiple growth factors. Hence, VHL/HIF and a variety of pathways, including PTEN/PI3K/AKT, are closely connected and contribute to the ontogeny of ccRCC. In the recent decade, multiple targeting agents have been developed based on blocking major signaling pathways directly or indirectly involved in ccRCC tumor progression, metastasis, angiogenesis, and survival. However, most of these drugs have limitations; either metastatic ccRCC develops resistance to these agents, or despite blocking receptors, tumor cells utilize alternate signaling pathways. This review compiles the state of knowledge about the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway confined to ccRCC and their cross-talks with VHL/HIF pathways.
